jeffw Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yeah. I also realized that in getting out of my neighborhood I have to make 2 tight left turns, both of which require me to back up part-way thru to make the turns. My tires must hate me. 2007 Volvo 780 Volvo D12D, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffw Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I met with the regional Continental Truck Tire rep today. We're off to a good start. He's collected some data and pictures and is going to talk to resources within Continental. One thing he suggested is that the Conti HTR2 might be a better tire for high scrub applications as the HTL2 is focused more on low rolling resistance. He may be able to get me one to try out. For now I'm going to move the HTL2s to the center axle and see how they wear while we figure out the next step. 2007 Volvo 780 Volvo D12D, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
